Instructions:

Scale the carp, if necessary, gut it, rinse it properly and rub it dry. Rub the inside with a little salt and thyme.

Peel the onion and garlic, clean the carrot, celery and leek and chop everything together as small as possible.

Oil a large ovenproof dish well. Spread the bottom with the chopped vegetables. Add cloves, peppercorns, bay leaf and thyme sprigs.

Put the carp on it and add equal parts of white wine and fish stock, so that it is at least half covered with liquid.

Bring the broth to a boil on the stove. Cover the pan with a lid or aluminum foil and cook the fish for 20 to half an hour on the stove heated to 180°C.

In between, ladle the carp a few times with the cooking juices.

In the meantime, melt the butter in a saucepan and stir in the flour slowly until it forms a uniform paste. Allow the flour butter to cool for 5 to 10 minutes.

Stir in about 1/2 l fish stock with whisks to avoid lumps. Bring the sauce to a boil and simmer on low heat for about 10 minutes, stirring continuously.

In the meantime, toast the pine nuts in a Teflon pan. Pit and chop the olives. Chop the capers.

Add the capers, olives, pine nuts, parsley, a little thyme and salt to the sauce and simmer for a few minutes.
